We are adding a special highlight to VCM Sunday: the Vienna 10K Coffee Run!

Look forward to coffee or tea & Viennese pastries in the finish area!

* The Vienna 10K Coffee Run is new to the VCM programme, offering as many running enthusiasts as possible the opportunity to actively participate and experience the Vienna City Marathon atmosphere.
Vienna and coffee are simply a perfect match! And a comparatively short run before the marathon is feasible in terms of organisation. Unfortunately, due to structural constraints on the roads and the characteristics of the route, we are unable to increase the number of participants in the marathon, Wiener Städtische half marathon and Powerade relay marathon.
